The vessel will be moored at Wilhelmshaven, where TES already owns land and is building its Green Energy Hub, in partnership with Eon. The addition of the FSRU will accelerate the green hydrogen project, and the hub is intended to start “large-scale [hydrogen] imports by 2025”, the statement says. “TES aims to seamlessly integrate the import of green molecules within the first 12 months that the FSRU is in operation, in order t
